Interesting. The picture accompanying the article is obviously of a very deranged person. I didn’t know it was Charles Manson until the end.
I don’t think the depictions of Jesus particular resemble Charles Manson. They do not have those crazy eyes.
But you are right, we really don’t know what Jesus or anyone else of the period looked like. About all we can surmise is that he would have had the swarthy complection of the people indigenous to that area, and not the lighter complection of Europeans as he is always shown.
I have read that it’s possible that Jesus had blue or green eyes, because people from the Galilee area at the time were noted for that. Of course there’s no way to know if it’s so, but it’s an interesting theory.
